Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned) drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup cottage cheese I prefer whole milk but 2% works too
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp dried parsley
  • 1-3 Tbsp water optional (see instructions)

Optional Garnishes

Instructions

  • Add chickpeas, cottage cheese, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and dried parsley to your food processor.
  • Blend on high until completely smooth. As needed, pulse the food processor and add water (1 Tbsp at a time) to reach your desired consistency. Depending on the strength of your food processor, it may take up to 3-minutes to get it completely smooth.
  • Transfer hummus to a storage container or serving dish. Right before serving, top with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy with chopped veggies, sliced pita, or your favorite crackers!

Notes

Keep stored in the fridge for up to four days.
